My big Descent 2 skylight screen (which I needed a break from) inspired some great ideas. Sigma on the Overload forum turned me on to the idea of embroidering clothes so I decided that my first attempt would feature a dear old friend.

That looks awesome! I like how it disappears into the black background. You might even consider (should you do similar stuff again) to just skip the darkest parts on a black shirt. That would save you a lot of work, as the form of the pyro is very well perceivable even if the darkest parts get swallowed up by the background. I believe you stitched the black parts too here, there is a very faint color difference.

Funny thing, I was considering stitching the black but I didn't. I only used light beige and dark grey, leaving the black fabric to take care of the rest. I think that the faint difference you see is residue from the waste canvas (the material that gave me a grid to stitch in). So great suggestion, you have exactly the right idea

I definitely plan to do more of this, but it is incredibly time consuming. Even without the black stitching it was still a 50 hour project. My other one, the skylight screen, is going to be many hundreds of hours.
